Angry Salad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something in the way you move that makes me think I hate myself
I said there's something in the way you move that makes me think
I think that I am falling, falling back again
And I'm falling out of time
Time out of sight; it's out of mind
I look for the courage I can't find
Then she walks up, and she says
I think there's something in the way you're cool that makes me sweat
I think I'm breaking up inside
I think there's something in the way you're cool that melts me
I think I fall apart
I think there's something in the way you're cruel that makes me think
I think that I'd come crawling, crawling back again
Time out of sight; it's out of mind
I look for the courage I can't find
Then she walks up, and she says
Dance with me
The lyrics of "Dance" by Angry Salad express the conflicting emotions and desires of the singer, who is caught between being attracted to and repulsed by the person they're addressing. The opening lines reveal the tension between love and self-hatred, and the titular invitation to dance serves as a metaphor for the push-pull dynamic of their relationship. The singer's sense of falling out of time indicates a disconnection from reality, and their search for courage suggests a reluctance to fully engage with their emotions. However, the object of their desire is portrayed as an enigmatic figure whose movements have a powerful effect on the singer, causing them to feel a range of intense sensations, from sweating and melting to falling apart and feeling cruelly treated. The repetition of the phrase "something in the way you" reinforces the sense of mystery and allure surrounding the person, and the final plea to dance can be read as an act of surrender or defiance, depending on how one interprets the singer's internal struggle.
Overall, "Dance" is a complex and evocative song that uses vivid imagery and emotionally charged language to explore the complexities of human desire and intimacy. It offers a glimpse into the turmoil of a relationship that is both compelling and destructive, and it leaves the listener with a haunting sense of the singer's inner turmoil.
